Morning ! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little brother Kern!This is the card I am entering for SSSS challenge and it has more distress than you will know, mainly because I snipped my finger with my micro serated scissors instead of the ribbon... OUCH! That really hurts! (notice how I didn't go back to even the ribbon up).My image is another homemade stamp using my stampmaker and another copyright free image. I used lots of distress inks to grubby up around the edges as well as THOSE scissors to roughen the edges too. I used K&Co brads cut in half for the corners of the topper and inked around the card with chalk ink.Lol, I forgot to mention the distressed balloon, made in error, peel off balloon outline stuck to glitter vinyl and heat gunned.

What a great challenge this is... Simon Says stamp and Show have teamed up with Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog for a blog hop. The theme is holiday fun, you choose which holiday.Mine is halloween i loved making this card, because the stamp i made myself with Teresa Collins stampmaker and a copyright free image. Cobwebs, I haven't drawn them since i was at high school. Also it involved slooshing lots of paint, ink and perfect pearls.I'm off to blog hop now...

What a rush! My entry for the above challenge is not what I intended at all! BUT I didn't want to miss the challege altogether so here it is... Sadly the only layers I could manage were the butterflies and the flower. Can you see them? I hope so. Monochrome probably wasn't the best way to go with this.

Apologies to the terrific design team, your pieces were all fantastic.
